TRODBLE AHEAD,
In their desperation, the Bullockites, carpet
baggers and scalawags are instigating the
negroes to violence and bloodshed in various
sections of the State: It will be seen by the
article which we copy elsewhere from the
Augusta Chronicle, that negro organizations in
the vicinity of that city have been supplied
with new United States muskets and rifle9.
The recent disturbance in Twiggs county has
disclosed the fact that the negroes in that
quarter are armed and organized. The pas
sage, too, of armed squads of negroes through
Hacon on Tuesday, looks ominous of evil
The Messenger of yesterday says:
“We have information of very serious com
plications in the neighboring counties
Twiggs, Fnlaski and Dooly. The whites, by
the violent language, the threats and almost
nightly assembling of armed negroes far drills
have been force,1 to arm themselves. The
danger of collision increases every day, and if
something is not done very soon, an outbreak
which will result In much blood and misery
will surely result. The negroes in those conn
ties when interrogated last week—as they were
upon several occasions—as to their object and
authority for thus banding themselves together
with arms for drill, all tell the same story.
They say they have been authorized arid ad-
vised by Jeff. Long, a mulatto of this place, to
do so ; and that he represents himself as act
ing uuder orders from high authority, which
higher authority the negroes take to mean
Bullock. We believe Long is a member of the
State Radical Executive Committee, and if
may be that this committee is the higher au
thority he refers to.”
The Messenger suggests that Bullock had
batter look into these matters at his earliest
convenience. The editor thinks it is to his
interest most decidedly to do so, giving
as a reason that “the first fiery breath
of such a war as his party friends seem eager
to precipitate, .will lick up the trumpery
concern he calls-his State Government. And
we are certain that when it has spent its fary,
there will be very few, if any, of the men
who made it necessary, left in the land, from
Bollock down to this pestilent negro, Long.
That point is as good as settled already:'
Webster’s .Dictionary and Politics,
political vagabonds is • as likely to "be on the
Gospels as.on a dictionary! The publishers of
Webster's great work owe It to the public to
explain this piece of knavery.—New Haven
Register.
Any person who doubts the statement which
we published the other day to the effect that
in the latest editions of Webster’s Unabridged
Dictionary the original definitions of the words
THE COLORED DEMOCRACY,
Oat exchanges and private advices froth
every quarter, not only of onr own State,
bat all the Southern States bring its the most
gratifying information of the growing
strength of the Colored Democracy. Every
where, in every city and town, and in the
country districts, the jcolored men are com
ing ont from the Loyal Leagues, and forming
Democratic clubs. It seems that their short
experience with the carpet-baggers and
mean native white scalawags have served to
open their eyes to the true character of the
unprincipled vagabonds and adventurers,
who, by lies and deceitful promises, have en
deavored for their own selfish purposes to ar
ray their race in hostility to their true friends.
The sensible portion of the. colored people
seem to have come to the conclusion that
white men who have forfeited the confidence
and respect of their own race are not worthy
to be trusted by them, and.that their true in-
terests will be .promoted by the cultivation
of relations of mutual confidence and friend
ship with, the honest and respectable white
people With whom their lot has been cast.
They begin to see that their prosperity and
happiness is not to be advanced by joining
the villainy and vagabondism of the country
in a crusade against its virtue, honor and in,
tegrity.
Disgusted at the deception and fraud that
has been practised upon them by un
principled adventurers to whose malicious
instigations and false professions and prom
ises they have listened to too long for their
own good, they now turn from the wicked
and unprincipled beguilers, who would take
advantage of their ignorance and unsuspect
ing credulity—to their true friends, upon
whom they feel that they can rely for protec
tion and advice, and are arraying themselves
by thonsands on the side of the Democracy,
in support of the tine principles ot Republi
can government, the Cons tilution, law, right,
and jnstice.
In illustration of the gratifying tact
above stated, we might fill columns of-our
paper with extracts from our exchanges and
private letters, but it will be sufficient for
our present purpose to give a ?ew examples
of the rapidly increasing and wide-spread
defection in what was a few months ago the
serrid ranks of the negro Radicals.
In Mississippi many of the Loyal Leagues
have been entirely broken np, the great
body of the better class of the members
going over to the Democratic party, fchas.

Woodville, in that State, a member of the
late Constitutional Convention, publishes an
address to hiB colored fellow citizens,
which, allndiog to the Constitution framed
by that Convention, the adoption of Which
he opposed, he says.
The colored voters of this State acted
wisely and justly in voting agaiost it.
The question presents itself to us : Who
framed that Constitution ? Was it men who
had the interest of the citizens of this State
at heart ? No ! But men who came from
the North as adventurers, to monopolize the
offices and distress the peaceful citizens.
God would not enffer such to be done ! He
used his Almighty power and slew those who
tried to devour us ! and to-day onr State is

We allude to this subject with.all the more
satisfaction because while the course adopted

A member of the Committee bn Privilege
and Elections presented a minority repor t
on the eligibility of negro members. A
point of order was made that a minority
conld not report before the majority. The
Speaker said the committee had six weeks
to make a report, and failing to report, he
decided that the minority report was in or

was sustained by a vote of 102 to 31.
The minority reports the members holding
seats not residents of the counties they re
present, also all free persons of Color under
the State Conrtitntion are ineligible, and the
disposition on the part of the majority to
prevent investigation. A substitute was of
fered declaring all negro members ineligible.
The question arose: Should members
eharged with ineligibility be allowed to vote
each separately on the question of the
other’s eligibility? The Speaker decided

singular that the Advertiser has never alluded
to this piece of audacious literary spoliation;
but as the mutilation is in the interest of “the

Onr Northern cotemporaries forget that the
war changed every thing. fif it set aside the
Constitution, abrogated the principles of right

Macon Item*.
Beutac ahd Dakins Outrage.—Last night
about half-past nine o’clock, a most brutal
and daring ontrage was perpetrated by a
gang of six 'negroes on the person of Mr.
Sheffield, who keeps a grocery store on the
Yineville road, in the edge of the town. At
the hoar stated, and after Mr. S. had closed
up for the night, the negroes rapped on the
window blind and called Mr. S. to the win
dow, when they, seized him by the arms and
endeavored to drag him out; bnt tailing to
pull him through the window, one of the
party shot him in the right side, inflicting a
mortal wound. The negroes then fled and
the alarm was given. Mr. 8. says he would
know one or two of the party if he should
see them again. They tore Mr. 8. ’s shirt
nearly off, and the pistol was so close to bis
body that it fired his clothes when he was
Shot.—Macon Telegraph.
Row out on the Brunswick Road.—
A negro man came in on the Brunswick
road yesterday with a very severe gash on
his head, which,be said was received in a
fight between two opposing parties of ne
groes ont on the Macon and Brunswick rail
road, about seven miles from'this city. He
says the fight waqbetween a squad of Dem
ocratic negrees bn the one side, arid Radicals
on tho other, and that axes and - knives were
freely used by both parties. He says two
negroes were killed and several wonnded.
We hardly knov what credence to give his
statements, and only give them as. they were

In North Carolina and Virginia colored
Democratic clnbs are being organized all
over those States. Henry Miller an intelli
gent fceedman of Mecklenbnrg in the former
State, publishes an adddress to bis people
in which he says :
“I am one of your number. From a sense
of duty I became a Democrat. I wish to ap
peal to you, not because I wish you to join
my party, but because I see that yon are in
danger. Wicked while men—mean white
men, that are Bkinning you every day, aud
intend to take the whole bide off—have al
ready made yon believe a hundred lies, and
they are making you believe them now.
They will get all they can out of you, and
then turn you over to the mercy of the white
people that you are now turning your backs
upon. You are freemen indeed, when you
dare not think, or speak, or aot, except just
as your white Radical masters order you to
do. You are obliged to vote for them, and
not even for yonr own color.
“They say Conservatives and Democrats
want to make you slaves again. If they
did, these men conld not, and would not if
they could, prevent it. They did not make
you free, and can’t keep you free. You jnst
know the respectable white people of the
South don’t want to make ns slaves again
and conld not if they wanted to. I was a
slave—am now free. I expect to die free
bat I want to be respected by the decent
white people. As it is clear they intend to
rule, say what we may, it would be well to
make them our friends. The colored people
had better take warning in time and show
that they have some sense.
•‘I write this of my own accord, as of my
°wu,accord I joined the Democratkfpirty,
and intend to continue in it.
James Green, the colored Representative
from Hale connty, Alabama, in the scala
wag Legislature of that State, has returned
to his constituents entirely disgusted with
his Radical carpet-bag associates. Tired of
politics, he proposes to go to Liberia, and is
making speeches arid advising all of his race
who are able to go, to go with him. He says
this Is a white man’s government, and that
nothing can make it anything else. He is
allow himself longer to be made the du[
knavish carpet-bag adventurers and unprin
cipled native scalawags, who would lead his
race into difficulty and then desert them.
From Texas we have information of
wholesale desertion of colored voters from
the Radicals to the Democratic party. A
recent instance is given of forty-seven freed
men of Marion county, who have addressed
a note to the editor of the Jefferson Jim-
plecute, of the 7fh instant, expressing their
intention to cut loose from the Loyal
Leagne and vote for Seymour and Blair.—
They say they “are fully convinced that
their true interest and that of their children
after them require that they should stick
to their old friends, the white people of 1 the
8outh.”
In Louisiana numerous Colored Democratic
Clubs are being formed in every part of; the
State, especially in New Orleans, where; the
membership is coanted by thousands.
Even in South Carolina, where the work
of estrangement of the black from .the
white race has ‘ been 1 most complete, and
where the control of the. carpet-baggers
over the freedmen has been almost supreme,
Colored Democratic Clubs are being organ
ized, the membership of jvhioh is rapidly
increasing from the most intelligent and
respectable portion of'the colored popnla-
tion - - ;'
A Georgia nearly every county in “the been
We published about two weeks ago, from
the Macon Telegraph, an account of a fight
which occurred in Twiggs county between
Radical and a Democratic freedman, who
were working in a corn field, in which the
former was killed, a gang of negroes belong
ing to the Union Leagne in that county vio-
lently entered the residence of Mr. H. T.
Smith in search of the negro who had done „„„„„„„„

retired for awhile, and then returned, de
manding the search. By the earnest appeals
of his wife, and to prevent a fight in which
he would be overpowered, Mr. S. submitted
to the outrage, but told the party he would
have them arrested. They made the search
and Mr. Smith sued out a warrant for their
arrest, and it was placed in the hands of the
sheriff for execution.
The Macon papers of yesterday give the
sequel of the affair. - The Messenger states
that last week Mr. Smith had warrants issued
aud lodged in the bands of the Sheriff for
the arrest of all supposed to have beeu en
gaged in these outrageous proceedings. On
Monday last, the Sberifij accompanied by
posse of four or five meD, 'went into the
neighborhood for tbe purpose of making the
arrests. He seoured eight or tea at various
honses, and then went to tbe house of A. F.
Beckome, the negroes on wbiehplace were
well knowri to have been with Jones. *
As soon as they rode hp they saw a man
running off. A gun was' fired over his head
for the purpose of making him stop, whioh
he immediately did, and was taken in custo
dy. Learning from this negro where four or
five others were concealed, Sheriff Stokes
took one or two of his men and went to tbe
spot pointed-ont. Fiven
spot pointed-ont. Five rose up and four im
mediately surrendered. • The 1 fifth,' Bob
Ballard, rao, tbe Sbereff and bis men alter
him. Bob soon turned upon them and fired
his shot gun at Mr. Jack Smith, a nephew of
Hardin. Two or three buckshot struck the
horse of Mr. S-, and one grazed his face. Tbe
fire was instantly returned,, when Bob fell,
mortally wonnded.
All the re3t were placed under guard arid
mircbed ‘to the Bluff District, where they
were yesterday to be tried before Magistrate
Wiley Pierce. The negroes all say they were
acting under orders from Jeff Long, of Ma
coo, and that-he regularly . issues orders to
tbe Loyal Leagues io the counties below.
On Sunday morning last, when the train
from Hawkmsvilfo. to Macon arrived abBuz
zard Roost; two negroes were arrested on
board by the authorities, who were supposed
to have been engaged in these proceedings.
When questioned as to where they were
going, they replied they were going to Ma
con to get orders from Jeff. Long. That
Jeff, was their District Commander, and he
had represented to them that he received
his orders from Atlanta.
Gentlemen from Twiggs connty report
the exciteirient as having been very small
throughout, but that there is a settled de
termination on the part, of, the white people
and many negroes to put dowD lawlessness
1 entorce tbe civil law. They do riot
>pose, however, to violate the law’
selves in re-establishing order.
An am[fie number of men were guarding
the • prisoners, but no. farther disturbance
was apprehended.
At last accounts the negroes were quietly
submitting to arrests, many of those con
cerned in the riot coming in ' and giving
themselves np. They were greatly alarmed
and feared that tbe white people were g^ing
to kill them.

The Thirty-first Annual Session of the
Wesleyan Female College
From Washington.
Washington, August 26.—It is announced
through the papers supplied with White House
items by the President’s phonographic writer,
that Perry Fuller is appointed Collector
Customs at New Orleans.
General Grant instructs Generals Meade,
Buchanan and Thomas relative to the use of
omigation of the IFederi. authorities., that jthe
soldiers, in common with citizens, to obey the
summons of the Marshal or Sheriff, must be
held subordinate to their paramount duty as
members of a permanent military body. Hence
troops can act only in their proper organized
capacity under their own officers, and iu obe
dience to the immediate orders of those offi
cers. The officers commandiog troops sum
moned to the aid of a Marshal or Sheriff, must
also judge for himself, and upon his own
official responsibility decide whether the ser
vice required of him is lawful and necessary,
and compatible with tbe proper disebarge of
his ordinary military duties; and must limit
his action absolutely to proper aid in the exe
cution of the lawful precept exhibited to him
by the Marshal or Sheriff.,

Breaker. Ahead—Prepare tor Them
We learn tbat a large organization of
armed negroes has been discovered in the
lower part of this county. A few nights
since they were found drilling and receiving
new muskets which are, distributed from
boxes like those in which the United States
Government pack and transport their small
arms.
These may be a portion of the arms which
tbe negro-incendiary, Charley Jones, said,
when arrested in Hancock a few days since,
were furnished by Governor Bollock. It is
ft vflrv flflrinna niflUflr nnrl alinnlri lha
a very serions matter and should receive the
tbonghtfnl consideration of our people.
We alsoilearnthat on Suoday last, when
tbe disturbance occurred at Johnson’s Beer
Garden on the border of the city, more than
one huiidred negroes, armed mostly with
new United States rifles, collected in a very
few minutes, ready and eager for a fray.
Id other sections of the State tbe same
system of drilling and anqing of a portion of
the bricks seems to be In process of comple
tion.
It would be well for the white miscreants,
who are urging on tbe poor ignorant negroes
to their ruin and tbe distress of the whites,
a collision does
(first to go nnder.
everywhere to mark
ihese unprincipled white knaves, and be sure
that none of them escape when the conflict
begins. Let it be onderstood that these
bite s'ea.’ * '
white sedition managers and promoters of
bloodshed are to be held responsible for any
and every vioiation’of the peace by tbeir;de-
luded followers. The peace of the State and
the quiet'of all} sections can be secured by
such a determination.
In the meantime ths white people should
guard against a surprise. Forewarned fore
armed is a good maxim, bat while it con
tains a great truth, it is utterly valueless un
less it be followed by tbe action it contem
plates. Our people should prepare for the
worst, while they hope for the best. The
best way to prevent violence is to let the
lawless know that we are prepared to meet
it. Preparations can do no barm. It may
be the means of enforcing peace. Let it ’be
tried.

What is the Matter with You ?
Tula ia the familiar question put to every Invalid.
In many cases the answer la, “I don’t know exactly,
bnt I don't feel well.” Look at the countenance of
the man or woman who makes this reply, and yon
will generally find that the eyes are doll and lustre
less, the complexion sallow, the cheeks fiacid, and
tbe whole expression of the face dejected. Interro
gate the Invalid more closely, and yon will discover
that Constipation, the resnlt of a ’ disordered
stomach and a torpid liver, last the bottom of the
mischief. -That’s what’a the matter." Whoever
